"I had a bag of tools in the back. They brought the tools up front, but they didn't take them," Thomas Wilson said.

Wilson was busy Monday evening cleaning up the broken glass in his Chevy Venture van parked on School House Lane. He says fixing this won’t be cheap.

Police dusted for fingerprints Monday hoping to link someone to the break-ins. Investigators say the suspects used a tool or hard object to bust out the windows, shattering glass, then rummaging through the cars for valuables.

"Handbags, school bags, laptops , GPS systems, change—anything that they could see in the vehicles," Northwest Detectives Lt. Daniel Brooks explained.

"To come out and see your car vandalized like that it's just not right. People have nothing else to do," Jones said.

The thieves took about $3,500 in merchandise from the cars. All the car owners will have to replace their windows that could cost a couple hundred dollars each. Police are warning drivers not to leave any items in plain site. Most of the cars in this crime spree were locked.
